The Lotarini 4-pack is an eco-friendly option for targeted pest management in smaller garden patches. These units use a standard ABS housing with a polypropylene stake tip, offering a simple setup for pre-moistened soil. By harvesting solar energy during the day, they operate without the need for manual recharging or external wiring, which is a significant convenience for busy homeowners.
The technical specs show a 1.2V 600mAh Ni-MH battery and a 2V/45mA solar panel. Like many solar-powered outdoor tools, these require roughly 8 hours of direct sun for optimal performance, especially in winter when daylight is limited. The sonic output is tuned between 400Hz and 1000Hz, which is most effective in loamy soil types. In heavy clay or rocky earth, the signal may be significantly attenuated.
Because the waterproof rating can be affected by the mechanical stress of installation, it is best to avoid hammering the units into the ground. A pre-dug hole ensures the 1.8mm ABS walls do not fracture during setup. Keeping the joint between the head and stake clean and tight will help maintain the internal circuitry against moisture after rain events.
Summary: A manageable 4-unit set for small-scale garden protection that uses solar harvesting for a zero-operating-cost deterrent.
If you have a larger area to protect and need more than four units, the 8-pack version of this stake offers double the coverage.
